Am I nothing now, Calloway?

"Behold...the Lord of Darkness raises his Army, and it falls before us like Babylon."
*The Chosen One sits in his old familiar place, the graveyard, still seated upon that tombstone over that open grave. However, the night has a different air about it now. He is no longer surrounded by his anger and disappointment, but rather very clear satisfaction at the work from Rampage...*
"You have been impressive, Calloway, but impressive may not be successful. You flaunted your ability to assemble a supporting cast that is arguably the strongest here in the FTR. Each member makes his debut on a large scale, burning puppets and crashing main events. A very, very flashy show, indeed.
"But they failed at one thing: they could not take out Billy Kidman. They tried and failed because I was there. Every one of them that you sent was taken down. This is when the agenda for your defeat became clear. Kidman and I had to show your internal weaknesses to expose your fallibility.
"How, you ask? Divide and conquer. We took out your entire army, one by one, to ensure that last Rampage would not be a backdrop for your evil intent. And how, you wonder, was it possible? Look at our attacks. Mortis was too busy filling his ego to notice that both Kidman and I had arrived to make him deliver on his empty threats. Nathan Jones and Rey Mysterio, Jr., were too focused on injuring an innocent man to notice our presence. Raven was unable to realize that Kidman would not be alone backstage, even for a quick conversation. Rhyno, I admit, was tougher, having realized what his stablemates missed: the inevitable double attack. Yet his blind rage still kept him from defeating us.
"But your key error, Calloway, was Eddy Guerrero. Eddy and Mortis are the two most experienced men in your group, and you seem to ignore this. A history lesson is in order here, Mark. In the colonial days in America, the king of England treated the colonies with benign neglect. He ignored their requests and petitions while pretending to care. He lost those colonies, obviously, and mostly because of his flawed policy. Now, your flawed policy may cost you a valued soldier. You wish to insult and attack Eddy Guerrero? Is that your best plan, Calloway? It is clear from Rampage that you already have pushed him far away, yet you wish to push him further?
"Do so, Mark. Do it. I dare you to push him, and then he can see that the man who took his title and the man he won tag gold with are the better choice for him. Your anger at nonexistent problems is benefitting me, Calloway. It left you alone in a ring that held three Fatal Army members. Chavo and Eddy were not about to help you had Kidman and I prevented your exit.
"Why didn't we? It was not the time to fight. But rest assured, when the time to end you comes, I will be ready. It is you that must prepare.
"Et nomini Patri, et Fili, et Spiritui Sancti."
*The Chosen One remains seated as the camera fades to black...*
